Jenn Sterger Wants Brett Favre Suspendedby Free Britney at .
Jenn Sterger is not out to get Brett Favre ... but come on, the dude should be held accountable for what he did, lest her own reputation be sullied.
That's essentially the model/reporter's take.
The former N.Y. Jets sideline reporter who claims Favre texted pics of his junk to her claims she would rather not pursue legal action against the NFL star.
As long as the NFL suspends him, that is.
Jenn Sterger has made it clear where she stands.
Jenn Sterger's rep said that "If the [NFL] commissioner suspends Favre and puts him in a program to make sure this doesn't happen again ... 100 percent ... she would not pursue any litigation against Favre, against the Jets, against anybody."
Her rep also insists that the QB's camp tried to pay her off in the wake of the alleged texting, but before any wang photos or news of the scandal leaked online:
"He asked, is there a specific figure you had in mind to make this go away."
Brett admits hollering at Jenn, but denies texting lewd pics. The NFL investigation into the incident is reportedly closed, but no decision has been reached yet.

Jen worked for the jets while dating a sirius satalite radio personality and although never mentioned on air I would say that jenn and favre were having a more than text relationship jenn was a well known sidline reporter in college before moving to the nfl. So for people to put sterger in the same boat as a kardashian/hilton is bullshit. Favre messed up period he's married and got caught plain and simple.
Jenn Sterger...another woman whose only claim to fame involves some sex related scandal. And she doesn't want money. She's already made money because she's involved in a sex scandal. She can now join a host of women...like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, who fame rests almost solely on their sexual infamy. What a disgrace to intelligent respectful woman everywhere!
What is this girl deal??? Is she not making enough money broadcasting? If it wasn't about money, why did she wanted to sue in the first place. What I think is she wasn't well known by everyone, so now everyone do know who she really is. It's all about publicity. I don't know who she is and I sure don't want to know her now! yeah, I'm definitely boycotting her, Great job Dumb ass!!! If I was Farve's wife, I would beat her ass!!!!! I hope she read this!!!
Jenn Sterger is a no talent hack who uses her sexuality to get paid. If she didn't want the attention then quit putting the girls out there for all to see. I hope she never gets another broadcasting job and not a dime from Brett. Now she wants the NFL to suspend Brett in order to give credibility to her story after her failed money grab. I hope Karma comes back at her two fold!
u guys r ridiculous i agree she doesnt dress appropriately but sum of the shit u guys say is totally wrong i heard a guy say "she deserved it" umm so if a girl wears a skirt n a guy puts his had up it she deserved it??? wtf i mean if she feels lyk she was harassed n wants to show tht she's not jus gonna put up with it then gud for her

Arceus takes on an incorporeal form when He attaches the Spooky Plate to Himself and assumes the Ghost-type. While Arceus is renowned for His incredible versatility and unpredictability, this is taken to a totally new level in this forme. Ghost Arceus is capable of filling almost any role, a task in which He is greatly aided by His solid base 120 stats across the board. In His ghostly form, Arceus gets certain important immunities, namely to Normal- and Fighting-type attacks, which allow Him to function as a potent spinblocker. However, His lack of useful resistances and weaknesses to common offensive types don't help Him. Still, a wide offensive movepool, access to a horde of support moves including Recover, and unresisted two-move coverage make Ghost Arceus a top-class threat this generation, and every team would be wise to prepare for Him or risk getting metaphorically crushed beneath Arceus's spectral foot.
With better overall bulk than Groudon and excellent base Special Attack and Speed stats, Arceus can pull off a successful Calm Mind set quite easily. With just two Calm Minds under its belt, Arceus becomes a deadly sweeper, reaching a mammoth 554 Special Attack, and getting to +2 is easy with its natural bulk supplemented by defensive investment. STAB Judgment and Focus Blast greatly enhance Ghost Arceus's sweeping capabilities as the Ghost / Fighting attacking combination is unresisted throughout the entire game. Judgment hits the horde of Psychic-types in the Uber tier for super effective damage, while Focus Blast rounds off the coverage perfectly by hitting Normal-, Dark-, and Steel-types super effectively. While these are admittedly unlikely scenarios as the blobs will likely switch in immediately and force Arceus out with the threat of Toxic, +3 Focus Blast does 47.9% - 56.5% to standard Blissey, a sure 2HKO factoring in Stealth Rock damage, while Chansey takes a hefty 36.8% - 43.3% from the same attack. Recover allows Arceus to heal up throughout the course of a match, which will allow it to continue its sweep.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Out of the few Ghost-types capable of running a viable physical set, Ghost Arceus separates itself from the lot by being the only one with access to Swords Dance. Coupled with Arceus's respectable bulk, Speed, and Attack, and you have a very powerful physical sweeper on your hands. A diverse physical movepool, as well as access to Recover, makes Ghost Arceus all the more deadly. Indeed, if Arceus has set up a Swords Dance, almost nothing can switch into it due to its perfect neutral coverage. Shadow Force allows Ghost Arceus to cause massive amounts of damage, and is the primary STAB move on this set. After a Swords Dance, Shadow Force can 2HKO the entire Uber tier, while Pokemon such as Kyogre, Rayquaza, Zekrom, Reshiram, Lugia, both formes of Giratina, and Ho-Oh are all OHKOed; even the most physically defensive of Groudon will be 2HKOed. The charge-up turn can be Arceus's undoing, however, as it gives the opponent time to switch to an appropriate counter. Shadow Claw can be used instead, but the drop in power is significant. Brick Break enables Ghost Arceus to deal with the Normal- and Steel-types that are immune to or resist Shadow Force, most notably Blissey and Chansey.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Arceus's unique combination of great bulk, awesome power, and excellent Speed, coupled with its humongous movepool, make it a good lead for both offensive and stall teams alike. Ghost Arceus defeats the most common leads and can usually survive the clash thanks to its great bulk and pose a decent threat later in the game. STAB Judgment goes a long way in helping Ghost Arceus beat other leads. Most of the common leads, including Mew, Mewtwo, and Deoxys, are hit super effectively and at least 2HKOed. Furthermore, Mew is outsped, and Mewtwo cannot 2HKO Arceus unless it carries both Shadow Ball and Life Orb. Flamethrower roasts Forretress, Ferrothorn, and lead Scizor. Ghost Arceus has an excellent trick up its sleeve in the form of Magic Coat: any lead trying to Taunt Arceus, set up Spikes, Stealth Rock, or Toxic Spikes, or even status Arceus, will have it reflected back. Recover makes sure Arceus will always survive the lead battle and come back to pose a threat late-game. Will-O-Wisp gives Arceus a way to deal with Groudon leads. Finally, Stealth Rock can also be used in the last slot if nothing else on your team can carry it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This bulky variant of Ghost Arceus functions as an excellent spinblocker, and especially shines on stall teams. Ghost Arceus's great overall bulk and lack of common weaknesses allow it to wall several common threats in the Uber tier, notably Terrakion, Extreme Killer Arceus, Scizor, Swords Dance Rayquaza, and Heracross. Ghost Arceus has access to reliable recovery in the form of Recover, which differentiates it from other dedicated walls, such as Groudon and Giratina. With its base 120 Special Attack, Arceus is no slouch offensively either; Judgment will cause quite a bit of damage even without any investment, especially to the ubiquitous Psychic- and Ghost-types in Ubers. Flamethrower deals with Ferrothorn, Scizor, Forretress, and Excadrill. The ability to deal with with Forretress outside of Hidden Power Fire is another niche Ghost Arceus has over its spinblocking competitor, Giratina. Will-O-Wisp allows Ghost Arceus to burn powerful physical attackers such as Zekrom, Rayquaza, Groudon, Tyranitar, and Scizor. Once they have been burnt, none of them pose any real threat to Ghost Arceus.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
A mono-attacking Calm Mind set with Refresh can be run, but that leaves Ghost Arceus helpless against Normal-types. It is therefore recommended that such a set be run with two layers of Toxic Spikes, as it allows Ghost Arceus to beat Blissey lacking Aromatherapy or Heal Bell one-on-one. Arceus can set up dual screens or use Cosmic Power, but there are better users available for both. Arceus can also run Perish Song to force switches.
Checks and Counters
Darkrai is an excellent counter to both offensive variants of Ghost Arceus. It resists Arceus's STAB Judgment and can put Arceus to sleep with a speedy Dark Void, assuming Ghost Arceus lacks Magic Coat; it can also KO Arceus outright with a Dark Pulse coming off its frightening base 135 Special Attack. Dark Arceus is also a good counter thanks to its Ghost resistance, but it will loathe a boosted Focus Blast. Tyranitar is a good counter to Ghost Arceus if the latter lacks Focus Blast, but note that Focus Blast will not OHKO Tyranitar anyway, while Choice Band Crunch will send Ghost Arceus to its grave. Skarmory stops the Swords Dance set in its tracks. It resists Shadow Force, shrugs off Brick Break, and can use Toxic to cripple Arceus and Roost off the damage, or phaze Arceus out with Whirlwind. Ferrothorn is also a good counter to Swords Dance Ghost Arceus, resisting its STAB and crippling it with Thunder Wave and Leech Seed or denting it with Gyro Ball; Ferrothorn must watch out for Brick Break though.
Blissey and Chansey can wall the Calm Mind and defensive sets with their stubby little arms tied behind their backs; they can Toxic Arceus and heal themselves up with Softboiled. In general, Ghost Arceus despises poison as it takes away Arceus's great bulk and reduces its longevity. Ho-Oh is also a good check thanks to its mammoth Special Defense, which in conjunction with its resistance to Focus Blast, lets it laugh off Ghost Arceus's attacks. Due to its great Attack stat, Ho-Oh can also 2HKO Ghost Arceus with Sacred Fire if the sun is up. With its base 140 Special Defense, Calm Mind Kyogre can take a Judgment after a Calm Mind, and can proceed to KO Ghost Arceus with a rain-boosted Surf. In fact, Choice Scarf Kyogre can revenge kill most variants of Ghost Arceus.

Created with the fearless free spirit in mind, this chic scent from Juicy Couture is a punk rock update on the original Juicy Couture. One part fruity, one part tart, and one part floral, it's neither too sweet nor too girly. Plus, the glam bottle is worthy of a front-and-center spot on your vanity.
I received a sample of this in my February monthly Birchbox, and I will be ordering some as soon as my sample is gone! I absolutely love this scent, and my fiance has been raving about how great I smell. It's a great scent for women to wear that men will love on you, too!!!
I love them smell! It last all day. At first you are strong and forward. And then as the day goes by, by night time when you get in the bed with your honey, it's soft and seductive. I absolutely love it. And the bottle makes me feel like a princess.
Thought this fragrance was very pretty smelling, and I even got compliments on it by others when I wore it! Very feminine and soft.
Love this scent! I am going to purchasing more very soon!!!! I usuallyy try to stay away from the floral scents but this one is not to strong, settle, but makes you feel good!!!!
I love this scent! It is by far my favorite. Floral without being overpowering, I fully plan on purchasing this perfume!
Very pretty smell. Smells like Clinique happy though. Probably not for me but I'm happy with my sample :)))))))) thank uou birchbox
...right behind Chanel Chance eau frachie. I love how bright this is and how fresh but not overwhelmingly floral it is. It lasts a long time too. I last used it on valentines day and I still get a whiff of it on my coat and scarf.
I love this smell! It's fresh and light and not too overpowering. This is a smell that will make you pretend not to smell your wrists during the day. There aren't any overpowering floral or fruity notes.
After receiving a sample size in a monthly box, I was quick to purchase the full size. This lightly floral yet clean scent is perfect for everyday wear. The bottle sure is glam!
This scent definitely just isn't for me. Like other reviewers note, it's generic. I can't imagine myself ever paying this much for a scent that's not sophisticated.

Industrial Helix wrote:So regarding the High Pop zone, are the gameplay mods willing to accept that each drop will not be the same and there will be some variance?
I think that if themap stays as it is in regards to this, I can lower the high population zone reward and lower further the Low Pop zone reward so as to emphasize the Commanders, which each player gets a very equal distribution of. Would this be a fair compromise?

Industrial Helix wrote:Autodeploy should work well enough as it represents the power of the Imperial arms depots and players face the logistics issue of moving them from the city to wherever the front is. As you will see, they're lightly guarded (neutral 2) as well, I chose such a low number because 1) that was the situation at the time and 2) it will put the cities quickly into the game.

I wrote a post about how having an autistic child makes you alone in many ways, from what you deal with to having to pull back from society to celebrating individual triumphs and heartbreaks. Paradoxically, Xan's autism has also made me probably more involved and included in some ways.
This week has been light on entries because Xan is in camp and I'm volunteering up there. Six hours being in charge of a group of kids, with two of those hours spent walking around a pool in 95 degree heat to keep count of them, will wear you out and sweat you down.
I imagine I hear some people slapping their heads in a facepalm, saying "Heat...pool...gee, what can the missing answer to THIS equation be?" And contrary to majority vote and popular opinion, I'm not so dumb as to miss this body of cool water I'm pacing around. Once I did try swimming with him and my group. It was great, for a while - Xan and I played. He loves the water, he loves playing with me (possibly the only area where I outrank Mommy in anything), and while we were in the water, everything went swimmingly.
<insert groan here>
But when it was time to get out...
Xan was overexcited and didn't want to stop, and ended up so frustrated at the good times ending that he tried banging his head on concrete. Well, I say tried. More like succeeded. Thankfully, in response to my mixture of shock, fear and command voice, he only managed the one time. But still. Ow.
Any parent who has seen their autistic child headbutt something solid and strong like concrete, a wall, a table, etc. knows how amazingly tough and impervious to pain their skulls can be. I call Xan hardheaded as a statement of fact, in grudging admiration, and also more than a little fearful recognition. They'll also tell you they don't want it proven time and again, and in that spirit I don't get in the water with him much anymore. I get to watch him have fun, and that means a lot.
The volunteers at the camp can handle him well. But I like being there so I can try and end things before they start, head off problems before they become meltdowns, and warn unsuspecting people who think it's just adorable Xan's come up to them and taken their hands that "You're about to go for a spin." It's unknown how many squares acres of carpet cleaning have been avoided by my timely warnings. I stay away from his group but am always a short walk away.
In addition to this, if something is going on at Xan's school I also volunteer. I'm pretty much penciled in as soon as any field trip for his class is planned. It's good to do and sometimes I bend the rules and get him something from a gift shop - an impossibility if I'm not there. Doing good by doing well, as it were.
One of the nicer things about doing this is seeing what Xan can do. In this recent camp, he's made a friend he'll go to. He mainly manhandles this friend, pulling his head down so he can rub his hair or ask for tickle or things like that, and this guy is a saint in training to put up with it. He does, with a smile. Something we get crafts that seem to be more Xan's than the helper's hands - eyes off kilter, a casual regard of picture lines, some organized chaos of a picture that tantalizingly hints at some strange order I can just see out of the corner of my mind. Some of the school outings have also shown me more of Xan, like the time we were in an aquarium gift shop and he reached out and grabbed a white whale stuffed animal - after we had left the whale tank, where a white beluga whale had hovered at the second platform where Xan had been, right over him, and they stared at each other for some minutes.
(No, I don't think there was some communion of the minds or a recognition between two spirits or the like. That would be a miracle and I'm a cynical person. But on the other hand, Xan putting those things together like that was a kind of personal miracle all my cynicism crumbles in the face of.)
In being with him more outside the home, where in addition to the control and familiarity there's a lack of surprise and novelty, I get to be part of something else different, unexpected and unplanned. In helping out, I get paid back. I also get to be included in some of his successes, strides and surprises.
My son's exclusion from much of normal society has let me be included in some extraordinary moments.

With Colbians leading the way, girl-empowering Hardy Girls Healthy Women sparks a national movement
On the corner of 68th and Lexington in New York City, a young woman hops onto a wall near the entrance to Hunter College. A light sweater covers her ruffled top, and she reads from a piece of bright pink paper.
"I want you to know that I am taking back ownership of my body," she shouts, her voice rising above the city din. "I refuse to let the media affect my body image or self esteem." A few people stop to listen, bundled against the autumn wind, and one woman smiles as Tasha De Sherbinin '11 continues. "I'm taking sexy back and I want everybody to know it. It's important that women everywhere know they are in control of their sexuality."
De Sherbinin was protesting on the street corner as a participant in the SPARK Summit, Oct. 22 at Hunter College. SPARK stands for Sexualization Protest: Action, Resistance, Knowledge, and 300 women and girls were trying to ignite a movement against the oversexualization of girls in the media.But in New York City, street theater is common. How can one young woman get the people within earshot to really hear her message? How can the women and girls at SPARK change the culture of today's media? How does one even begin?By enlisting the help of girls, that's how.
De Sherbinin, a women's, gender, and sexuality studies (WGSS) major from Manchester, Mass., was one of five Colby students at SPARK representing not only Colby but also Hardy Girls Healthy Women, a Waterville-based nonprofit organization that has become a national player in programs and research that empower girls.Hardy Girls Healthy Women (commonly called Hardy Girls) celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2010 and that same year received the Maine Governor's Award for Nonprofit Excellence in the small organization division. Hardy Girls shows women, girls, and their communities the power of working together to create change, whether it's implementing sexual harassment policies in their school or challenging products or ads from a large corporation.
Colby is one of the keys to Hardy Girls' success. From cofounders Karen Heck '74 and Professor of Education Lyn Mikel Brown to staff members Megan Williams '04, Jackie Dupont '04, and Allison Cole '07 to faculty, staff, and students who have served on the board, Hardy Girls is rife with Colbians. More than 100 Colby students volunteer each year while others engage as interns.
Hardy Girls and Colby partner in civic engagement projects as well. Brown offers a practicum through the Education Program that requires students to work with girls. The Colby Volunteer Center, an arm of the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement, has adopted Hardy Girls as one of its ongoing programs. And in both September and January, incoming first-year students volunteer at Hardy Girls as part the C2IT (Colby Community Involvement Trips) portion of student orientation.

"Colby's had a huge impact in our ability to build our capacity as an organization," said Williams, Hardy Girls' executive director. In turn Hardy Girls offers Colby students the opportunity to engage with a successful organization to gain real-life experience. With Colby's support, Hardy Girls has developed and refined programs that are affecting lives across the country and around the world.The SPARK Summit leadership team included people from six organizations that hailed from Washington, D.C., Oakland, California, New York City, Boston—and Waterville. Hardy Girls was one of two original sources of the idea to bring together researchers, educators, and program directors who are alarmed at the detrimental effects that sexualized media have on girls' development. Brown and her research colleagues around the country, some of whom sit on Hardy Girls' national board, knew that to gain momentum, affect policy, or get money for research, they needed to band together.Hardy Girls also knew that SPARK needed girls as part of the equation. "If Hardy Girls was not an active partner in SPARK," said Williams, "we would not have girls in full partnership with adults working against this issue."
Hardy Girls offers strength-based programs and opportunities for both girls and adults that promote hardiness, "a health psychology notion around resilience," explained Brown. Hardy Girls' premise is that it is our culture, not the girls in it, that needs fixing. "What makes us unique is we go in and we work with communities and with the adults," said Brown, "but with girls front and center."

I've played with the brightness but I just can not get it to look as it used to. Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the contrast or adjust the color balance? I know it's a long shot... thanks

I Hate Everyone...Starting with Me
add to cart

- CD Unabridged: $29.95 add to cart
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." —Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1850
"How do I hate thee? How much time do you have?" —Joan Rivers, today, about two-ish
Joan Rivers, comedienne, actress, jewelry monger, and an award-winning international star (she can sneer in eight different languages) lives by the golden rule: Do unto others before they do unto you—and for God's sakes, do it funny! Her career in comedy may have begun with self-loathing, but, after looking at the decrepitude around her, she figured, "Why stop here when there are so many other things to hate?" With all of her experiences, Joan has looked down at, turned away from, and thrown up over a lot of hateful things, deplorable places, and despicable people. Thank God she took notes.
Here—uncensored and uninhibited—Joan says exactly what's on her mind…And HER mind is a terrible thing to waste. She proudly kicks the crap out of ugly children, dating rituals, funerals, and lousy restaurants. She nails First Ladies, closet cases, and hypocrites to the wall. She shows no mercy towards doctors and feminists, and even goes after Anne Frank and Stephen Hawking. Joan lets everyone—including herself—have it in this one hundred percent honest and unabashedly hilarious love letter to the hater in all of us.
This is absolute Joan Rivers. You gotta love her. Even if she hates you.
Includes new material!
Love may be a many-splendored thing, but hate makes the world go round. If you think I'm kidding, just watch the six o'clock news. The first twenty-nine minutes are all about dictators and murderers and terrorists and maniacs and, worst of all, real housewives. And then, at the very end of the show, there's a thirty second human-interest story about some schmuck who married his cat. I rest my case.
Some things I've hated forever, some are new acquisitions, and some are just passing fancies. Today I hate happy TV weathermen, feminists who believe Gloria Steinem's great looks hurt her, Gloria Steinem herself, people who mispronounce the word ask, studio apartments, guidance counselors, first ladies, old people. So if any of this offends you, or you happen to love puppies and kittens and the infirm . . . well . . . I'm impressed. I hate you, but I'm impressed . . .
I know what you're thinking: "Joan, hate is a very strong word." You're right, it is, but I use it as an umbrella term, the way mental-health professionals use the word schizophrenia as a catchall for any particular brand of crazy they can't identify. So when I say hate, I don't necessarily mean hate. I could also mean loathe, detest, abhor, dislike, despise or resent. See, isn't that kinder and gentler? If you think this makes you a better person than I am, good. You're the idiot that actually paid for this book.
For those of you thinking, Geez, Joan seems a little angry, you're half right. I am angry. I'm also fed up. I'm fed up with the morons and losers and cretins who are cluttering up the planet. Emma Lazarus wrote, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." I didn't know she meant on my block. But being fed up and angry is better than being depressed. Psychologists tell us that depression is just anger turned inward, but I say, why waste your time? It is what it is and quite frankly I'd rather be angry than depressed. Why? Because antidepressants like Prozac, Wellbutrin and Zoloft can cause bloating—and I hate bloating!!! (I need to go back and add bloating to the list of things I hate. Is there anything worse than not being able to fit into a size two Valentino? I think not. Talk about depressing.)

Forums have always been great places for fans and producers to congregate and talk about the music they love. Whether it's forums about specific genres, production tips or music software there are a lot of thriving communities out there. And SoundCloud is all about moving your music to where you really need it; to all the places where you want to discuss, share and play it. So here's a short 5-step guide to show you how to allow SoundCloud tracks to be directly embedded into forum posts. It takes two minutes.
Note, to do this you'll need to have administrative rights of the forum. If you're just a user then you might want to send your admins a link to this post and ask nicely!
1) Go to your Admin Control Panel, then click on 'Add New BB code' option under 'Custom BB Codes'.
2) Enter the following info into the form fields:
BB Code Tag Name:
<object height="81" width="100%"><param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url={param}&g=bb"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url={param}&g=bb" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object> {param}
Embed the tracks from SoundCloud into your post. Use the track URL in your browser. For example, for http://soundcloud.com/forss/speech-craft-no-sleep-til-dawn-remix-by-forss it would be: [soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/forss/speech-craft-no-sleep-til-dawn-remix-by-forss[/soundcloud]
3) Include a Button Image. (Note: this is optional but you should upload that image to your own server and host it from there: http://bit.ly/tV7mm).
4) Here's the how it should all look:
5) Now, click 'Save' and that's it! Your users will have a SoundCloud button in their post forms now. They simply click on the cloud button and paste their track URL address.
P.S. If you're a forum software developer yourself, don't hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or SoundCloud Google Group. There is potential for more advanced forum integration with SoundCloud.

I have been working at hibu full-time for less than a year
Pros – I was in sales and Self Employed for the past 15 years, I have been with hibu now for a year. When I was self employed, if I did not work I did not get paid. I totally love this company, if you are a self starter and enjoy talking and helping small to mid size business's this is a perfect fit. They have a good base pay and great benefits, plus the commission structure is great, I made over 70k my first year and I was not even in the field untill the first part of March due to IST Training. My Goal this year is well over 6 figures.
Cons – They are Launching new products all the time which is not really a con but you need to stay on top of it and learn the products.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep thinking outside the box.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Report: Ivo Karlovic hospitalized in Miami with viral meningitis
Croatian media report that Ivo Karlovic is in a Miami hospital after contracting viral meningitis.
Croatian newspaper Večernji list confirmed the reports with Karlovic's family. Karlovic's sister Ana issued a statement to correct initial reports that Karlovic had suffered a mild stroke.
The paper reports that Karlovic was initially released from the hospital but was readmitted after falling ill again.
The 34-year-old Karlovic, who at 6-foot-10 is the tallest man to play on the ATP Tour, last played at the Sarasota Challenger two weeks ago, where he lost to 238th-ranked Denys Molchanov in the first round.
He sent out a colorful "it can only get better" tweet afterward:
Ok i lost against everybody this year. #needtochangeshitaround. #shitcanonlygetbetter—
ivo karlovic (@ivokarlovic) April 12, 2013
Karlovic hasn't played since then, withdrawing from both Savannah and next week's Tallahassee Challenger due to "illness."

In order to stay on track, we need healthy food that tastes good. More than 15 years ago, I wrote a cookbook titled "Heavenly Lites" featuring recipes that are lower in fat.
Mauna, my friend and assistant for more than 20 years, and I both lost weight while testing the recipes for the cookbook. And the best part was we enjoyed the foods because they tasted good.
One of Mauna's favorites was our Chicken and Rice Primavera and my favorite is the Lite and Easy Brunswick Stew.
The primavera calls for reduced fat Cheddar cheese but I prefer to use "real" Cheddar and simply reduce the amount from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup. This, of course, will increase the fat grams slightly, but the dish will taste better.
Keep in mind that even though these foods are lower in fat, that doesn't mean they are also low in calories and/or sugar content. The introduction to this old cookbook states, "This book is not intended to be part of a weight loss program, but is meant to be a low-fat supplement to a healthier way of eating."
2 cups instant rice (for a healthier version, use instant brown rice)
3 cups cooked and chopped chicken breasts
1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian diced tomatoes, drained (reserve liquid)
1 (15 ounce) can mixed vegetables, drained (reserve liquid)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 350 F. Pour the uncooked rice in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Layer the chicken over the rice. Add the drained tomatoes and vegetables. Combine the liquid from the tomatoes and vegetables with enough chicken broth to make 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Add this to the mushroom soup and mix well. Pour over the vegetables. Sprinkle the cheese over top of the casserole. Bake for about 35 minutes. Makes 10 generous servings with less than 4 grams of fat per serving.
4 cups shredded, cooked chicken breasts
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/3 cup vinegar (I prefer rice vinegar)
2 tablespoons sugar (or equivalent of sugar substitute)
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 tablespoon Tabasco (or to taste)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (11 ounce) can shoepeg corn
1 tablespoon low-fat margarine (if desired)
In a large soup pot combine chicken, tomatoes, tomato sauce, onion, bell pepper, parsley, vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Combine flour, salt, black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over top of stew. Gradually add water, stirring in the flour mixture. Add remaining ingredients and let simmer for about 30 minutes. May need to add a little more water during cooking. Makes about 8 servings with less than 1 gram of fat per serving.

This might seem like a silly question, but I am not a Catholic, and so I do not know the answer!
Do Catholics tithe?
This might seem like a silly question, but I am not a Catholic, and so I do not know the answer!
Do Catholics tithe?
Catholics don't tithe.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Of course, this doesn't mean they don't give. And Catholics are obligated to give, according to ability. This isn't just semantics, there's a difference between the two.
A tithe in this context isn't just an offering, it's a specific percentage of a person's salary that the person must give to their church, usually under pain of sin. This was required by the Old Law, but is no longer required. Charity (a special formal word that means love) obliges us to give, though. How the offering is gathered might depend on the particular parish, but it's roughly what you'd expect.
Sometimes, some of us even sing a song about this issue. Some of the lyrics go:
By "feast" we mean the Most Holy Eucharist, the Most Sacred Blood, God literally present before us, just as He was Himself present before St Thomas the doubter.
We sing that song being mindful of Isaiah 55:
However, again from the Catechism:
On the obligation to give, 2 Corinthians 9:
Addressing the Old Law, Romans 13:
A person who has love for her Church will give an appropriate offering. In the same way that St John took care of Holy Mary, Mother of God, so too do we presently seek to take care of the Christ's Bride until she is reunited with Him at the end of time. In turn, she takes care of those who are in need (the Catholic Church is, among other things, a really, really big decentralized charity).
Well, I've been to Catholic services, and I have witnessed a basket being passed around wherein money is placed. If tithe is defined as putting money in that basket, then yes, they do.
Officially, that is, according to Roman Catholic doctrine, the Catechism, §2043, states
Thus, the idea is that you are not commanded to give a certain percentage, although "tithe" literally refers to 10%. Rather, it is expected that one give according to his ability.

20 June 2013 -- The purpose of World Refugee Day is to draw attention to the plight of refugees, celebrate their courage and resilience and renew commitment to solving refugee problems. It is also an opportunity to recognise the contributions that refugees make to the countries that host them.
This year, the theme of the Day is "One Family". Events and activities around the world leading up to the Day are intended to raise awareness of the situation of forcibly displaced and stateless people, especially in crises like the conflict in Syria. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN refugee agency, has urged the public to observe the Day by "taking 1 minute to support a family forced to flee."
On World Refugee Day, UNHCR also releases its annual "Global Trends" report. There were 45.2 million forcibly displaced people worldwide at the end of 2012, including 15.4 million refugees - the highest number of people displaced since 1994. 7.6 million people became newly displaced in 2012. On average, a person became a new refugee or internally displaced person every 4.1 seconds. 81 percent of the world's refugees are in developing nations, as are the vast majority of internally displaced people. António Guterres, the head of UNHCR, has noted: "These truly are alarming numbers. They reflect individual suffering on a
huge scale and they reflect the difficulties of the international
community in preventing conflicts and promoting timely solutions for
The high number of refugees hosted by developing countries underscores the disproportionate burden carried by those least able to afford it as well as the need for international support. In 2012, Pakistan was host to the largest number of refugees worldwide (more than 1.6 million), followed by Iran (868,200) and Germany (589,700). Pakistan also hosted the largest number of refugees in relation to its economic capacity with 552 refugees per 1 USD GDP (PPP) per capita. Approximately 55% of refugees worldwide come from five countries: Afghanistan (nearly 2.6 million), Somalia (1.1 million), Iraq (746,400), Syria (728,500) and Sudan (569,200; potentially including citizens of South Sudan as separate data does not yet exist for both countries).

I have been working at Mediacom Communications
Pros – Fast paced, fair pay, fun environment. It is an environment that encourages creative thinking. The performance standards are clearly defined, and the supervisors are knowledgeable and helpful. I really feel that the management wants me to succeed, and cares about the worker's satisfaction. There are often events being held, good benefits, paid training and overtime available. In this economy, cable is one of the few industries that it still growing, so there should be some job security.
Cons – Scheduling is tough, until you have worked there for a few years you will be working over the weekend. Some customers can be abusive, but that's standard call center stuff.
Advice to Senior Management – Try to make scheduling easier. It is tough for someone with a family to work all weekend, every weekend. It really takes a toll on the family to never be around when the kids and spouse are home.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Sophia Finlay and Harriet Farnie 1843 - 1847
- Scottish Art
This is one of four calotypes of young girls with David Octavius Hill's dog, a terrier pup called Brownie. The girls depicted are Sophia Finlay – Hill's great-niece – and Harriet Farnie, the younger of two sisters. Sleeping children were a recurring theme in nineteenth-century art, as it played on the Victorian fascination with childhood innocence and death. The image is clear and well-defined, which means that the girls must have sat very still for anything from several seconds up to a minute. Presumably the dog had been played with until it collapsed in exhaustion. Hill later called this picture 'The Sleepers' and added 'Brownie, my stolen and lamented terrier pup'.

Being a government official in China is not for the faint of heart, the thin-skinned or the fragile of mind.
Ever since Communist Party chief Xi Jinping took office, some of his predecessors in China haven't been shy about making abrupt appearances to send political messages.
China's Communist Party has tough choices ahead: It clearly recognizes the danger corruption poses to its own mandate to rule, but meaningful reform would weaken the very power that the Party seeks to strengthen, writes Stanley Lubman.
Growing anxiety among officials over phone calls from the Beijing area code is prompting some much needed reconsideration of China's political culture, writes Russell Leigh Moses.
There's a new round in Beijing's ongoing anti-corruption campaign. But this one promises to be as much a challenge to the Communist Party leadership as to the corrupt officials it's designed to take down.

Eat Locally: Local Farms Benefit Local Wildlife and Economies
By Bruce Ingram
"I picked cucumbers, squash, and green tomatoes this morning," says a tall man in jeans and work boots. "I happened to be in town this morning, and I thought you might want some."
"Got plenty of cucumbers and squash," replies Philip Newton, head chef at the Harvest Table Restaurant. "But we'll probably have a pretty good crowd coming for lunch and dinner today, and fried green tomatoes are really popular this time of year. Bring me some of those tomatoes over in a little while."
And so a transaction is made. It is a sultry, mid-July morning. My wife Elaine and I have just arrived at the Harvest Table Restaurant in Meadowview, Virginia — a hamlet in the southwest corner of the state.
In a country where much of our food comes from hundreds (if not thousands) of miles away, it is somewhat astonishing that a place still exists where a tomato can be growing on a farm at dawn and end up a few hours later on someone's plate at a restaurant. But if rural America is to remain rural — and fishing, hunting, birding, and other outdoor pursuits are to continue — more of this type of transaction needs to occur.

I say, all the way.
I know the answer to this has to be on the forum but after multiple searches, I couldn't dig it up:
I recently had a new faucet installed. It's working fine except that the water pressure is ever so slightly lower. I checked the aerators and rinsed them out. Looking under the sink, the new shutoff valves are straight up and down. I haven't checked them yet to see how much more I'd need to turn them to open them up completely because I'm unsure if it's all right to open them up completely, which would probably solve the lower water pressure. I remember reading somewhere that you open them completely but then back off a quarter or a half turn so they don't stick in the open position as scale builds up.
How far should the water shutoff valves for a sink, tub, or toilet be opened?
I say, all the way.
Jim DeBruycker
Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
Shutoffs should generally be opened all the way. Many of the are "back seated" to prevent leakage out of the stem.
In most cases, you are correct that opening all the way then 1/4 turn back is what you want. The flow is controlled these days by flow-restricting aerators. Thank your legistators. Many new stops are 1/4 turn and are either open or closed and it's not recommended to use them to throttle water.
Using the stops to throttle water was a reasonable thing to do back in the old days when faucets didn't have restricting aerators and water pressure could vary from region to region. It is still feasible if your water pressure is around 80 PSI, but most municipal systems on flat ground are around 50 - 60 PSI. (It's more of a problem where there are hills and pressure can vary from 15 PSI to 100 PSI.)
Thank you for your replies. I finally got brave and turned off one of the new shutoff valves and then turned it back on and discovered that the straight up and down position is open all the way!! I left it that way.
Did you have shut-off valves before?
If not, and you had copper pipe plumbed all the way to your faucet then you would have experienced higher flow because it is wider than the supply lines you have now.
Just a guess.
Yes, I had shut off valves before and the hot water valve was "frozen" in the open position. No matter how hard I shut it off, water still came out full force. The faucet needed replacing (1 gallon per hour leak!) so I had the plumber replace the valves and the water supply lines. It formerly was copper pipe all the way to the faucet and is now braided stainless steel from the valve to the faucet. So, it sounds like that's the answer for the cause of the slightly diminished water flow!! Thank you!!

Zora Neale Hurston & Langston Hughes Literary Friendship Ended Over Controversial Play Mule Bone!
I am reading Carla Kaplan's incisive biography "Zora Neale Hurston A Life In Letters" again! I recently purchased my copy and I encourage anyone that is a fan of Zora Neale Hurston to buy this book! I like how Kaplan compiled all of Hurston's letters in chronological order and also included a written discussion about Hurston's life from the 1920s to the 1950s. Kaplan really made the book very enjoyable and easy to read. Kaplan really did a great job. We learn about Zora's heartache dealing with racism and sexism during the 1930s when she began applying for grants. We also discover Hurston was not just an author she also was a trained anthropologist.
I hope to purchase Ms. Boyd's biography "Wrapped In Rainbows" soon it was also recently published a few years ago. Kaplan's book is simply amazing. Kaplan really did an amazing job of collecting numerous primary source material. I feel like I was entering Zora's mind I was able to see her thought process.
Zora also was an actress in many ways. Sometimes Zora would act like a stereotypical mammy to gain patronage or acquire support and money from powerful whites. Other times, Zora's letters come across that she's a civil rights actvist. Some letters Zora wrote about the importance of black feminism. Zora had written to both her friends and even her enemies. Zora was aware of the persona she had to "create" in order to "get" what she wanted from the respondent to her letters. Zora was a very shrewd woman she knew how to work with people but also how to manipulate them as well.
The book also includes discussion about the famous literary dispute Zora had with Langston Hughes over a play called "Mule Bone." Sadly, the fight Hurston and Hughes had over "Mule Bone" ended their friendship. Interestingly, Zora does not talk about the "Mule Bone" dispute at all in her controversial memoir "Dust Tracks On A Road." Langston Hughes does talk about the "Mule Bone" dispute in his first autobiography "The Big Sea" which was published in 1940. Zora' memoir was published in 1942 she must of known about Langston's memoir. Zora ignores Langston completely in her memoir as though he never existed.
The dispute between Hurston and Hughes centered around a typist named Louise Thompson she was hired by their "Godmother" Charlotte Osgood Mason. Mason was an old white woman that believed in capturing the essence of the "primitive" African American culture. Hurston and Hughes had contracts with Mason to collect and work on art dealing with African American culture.
Hurston doesn't seem to trust Thompson and she considers her a threat. I keep on wondering if Kaplan could of peeled the surface a bit more though. I wanted to know were Langston and Zora lovers? The anger and the betrayal Zora feels about Louise Thompson to me suggests there was maybe a love triangle going on? We don't know if Langston and Zora were romantically involved but I suspect they were. I hope Boyd's book brings some light to this issue.
Although later on in Langston Hughes life the writer Faith Berry points out that Hughes was indeed a homosexual. I also believe Langston was a homosexual and I think there was dissemblance on his part to hide his homosexuality. Lorraine Hansberry the playwright wrote for the lesbian publication "The Ladder" in the 1950s. Langston Hughes had to hide his homosexuality because he was fearful of losing the public support of the black heterosexual community.
Hughes never married and he never had children. Now of course being single and childless does not mean a person is a homosexual. However, Faith Berry's 1992 book "Before & Beyond Harlem." I think is the best biography on Hughes it deals with the fact that he was indeed a homosexual.

Powerful women fund Gen-Y startupMarch 20, 2012: 8:18 AM ET
If you're creating a career platform for aspiring Gen-Y women, it's smart to line up star businesswomen as angel investors. Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, Gilt Groupe's Susan Lyne, and serial entrepreneur Gina Bianchini invested slivers of the $1.25 million that Levo League has raised to get off the ground, but so what that their stakes are tiny? The two young entrepreneurs behind the new site know how to ask for help and how to get attention as well.
Attention toward Levo League is high right now because co-founders Caroline Ghosn and Amanda Pouchot are officially launching their site today. Fortune is the new company's exclusive media partner.
Fortune has no money in the venture but saw an opportunity because Levo League aims to be a sort of LinkedIn (LNKD) for rising-star women. Ghosn, who is 25 years old and the daughter of Nissan (NSANF) and Renault (RNSDF) CEO Carlos Ghosn, met Pouchot, 26, when they both worked as consultants at McKinsey & Co. The two twentysomethings were surprised -- and frustrated -- that the web offered no go-to hub for smart, career-driven types like them.
"We want women who want to be on the Most Powerful Women's list," says Pouchot, referring to the Fortune Most Powerful Women rankings, about Levo League's mission. This is actually the second try at a startup for her and Ghosn. Their first venture, PYP (Pretty Young Professionals), had similar goals as Levo, but infighting led to a split from two other partners. Levo (the Latin root of "elevate") is going more smoothly. With five full-time employees, Ghosn and Pouchot have convinced 100 companies, including AOL (AOL), Pfizer (PFE), and Teach for America, to post job openings on their site. The companies pay a fee, but job-seekers and other visitors use Levo for free.
How did these two twentysomethings get those star businesswomen to invest? Classic networking. A McKinsey colleague introduced Ghosn and Pouchot to Sandberg, who had worked at McKinsey pre-Google (GOOG) and Facebook. A friend of a friend's mom knew Bianchini, who co-founded Ning and is now CEO of Mightybell, another social site. Bianchini introduced the Levo founders to Lyne.
In the next few weeks, you can go on the Levo League site and access select Fortune content about Most Powerful Women, including last October's cover story about Lyne. While Levo is likely to draw mainly a female audience, men are most welcome. Among Levo's 10 investors are a couple of guys who see opportunity. And yes, Carlos Ghosn is betting his money, too.

"My fiancee and I ordered save the date post cards from WPD, and couldn't be more impressed or satisfied! Designing and customizing the post cards was so easy - we even asked for customization of the card template, and it was done perfectly with no questions asked (and no additional charge!). The shipping was super fast, and the quality of the cards when we received them was amazing! I 100% recommend this site, and will definitely be ordering again :)"
"My guests simply loved their Save the Date cards! Most said they had never seen such lovely cards and they loved the photo & the calendar. They are gorgeous to frame as a keepsake!"
"Loved this simple but clever design for the save the date. The staff does an GREAT job editing if you need them too! My design was make or break depending on the staff's editing! I will definitely use this site again!"
"Fast delivery. I received it so quickly and they are amazing. The card is exactly how we wanted it. Designer(s) I was working with was so prompt with the changes/corrections. I love them. I already recommended this site to some friends."
"My fiancee' and I were very pleased with the results of this card. We took the pictures ourselves but many of our recipients thought they were professionally taken. The step-by-step instructions were very helpful. Shipping was quick and they arrived when promised. My only criticism is there are some restrictions on the editing process and we would have liked a bit more freedom with the design and text placement."
